Are there no restrictions on client numbers using ODBC to access the Pro version? Their website seems to imply that it's for workgroups of up to 10 users, but it isn't clear on this point. If you know for sure that access is unlimited, could you let us know? On the xml front, one way round the restrictions might be to use a Rev/Metacatrd server application as an intermediary between the client and the database. Sorry I can't help you on your original question. Cheers Dave Cragg
